Light rail is often seen as quite a male-dominated environment, but here at Edinburgh Trams, our female colleagues are living examples that couldn’t be further from the truth!
Ahead of International Women’s Day on the 8th of March, we sat down with our Head of Service Delivery Sarah Singh, Training Manager Marlene Pearson-McGrath, Revenue Protection Manager Catriona Anderson, and Tram Driver Kira Sutter to talk about their experience within the sector. These interviews will be shared as part of a series throughout the month.
Sue Bucher, our Head of HR, commented:
As a business, one of our primary goals is to make sure we foster equality across the entire team. The fact that so many roles here are occupied by women shows that we’ve become an attractive place regardless of gender.
The Service Delivery department is the backbone of Edinburgh Trams and is led by Sarah. If you’re out and about in the city, you’ll also see women driving trams all along the network. As we continue to grow, we want to encourage even more women to choose public transport as their career path.
To kick off the month, we chatted with Sarah about her journey in light rail. Watch this video on our YouTube channel to find out more:
